Girl With Broken Wings Lyrics

On the porch, she will sit,

Light another cigarette,

And take a sip of anything that makes it right.

She's outside, trying to hide from the fight just inside,

Where her mom and her dad destroy each other

And on the phone she will call

Every boy, yeah, one and all.

They will touch her in all the right places.

And in her room, she will slide

Down the bed and try to fly,

And she will fall once again for the feeling

And as he grabs her brown hair,

She is faking

That the feeling he gives her is real

As the floor underneath the bed is

She will finish what she starts with "I love you."

So from her head to her toes,

Nervous hands and runny nose,

All of this just for one night of feeling

And in her ears she will hear

All the things that hide her fears

Of dying young and making plans for the future.

And all the marks on her arms

Symbolize a fractured heart

And all the boys that were smart

Left her alone

So from the roof, she will fly

15 feet down the side

Of the house where she once was happy

Yes it's true, she's aware

That she is breaking

And it's true, she can't do anything

Well in her blue underwear

She is thinking how

In Jesus' precious name

She got here

Well it's sad but it's true

She is ending

But for now, she will pray for some wings

On a black Cadillac she is landing hard

Yet her parents' biggest worry is the car
